High-riding innominate artery in neck surgery.
We present two cases of innominate artery (IA) in a cervical position. In the first case, surgery was not performed because there was no indication. In the second, it was possible to obtain surgical images of the AI and its branches located in front of the laryngotracheal axis. A warning about the serious risk involved in cervical surgery in these cases is indicated.

متن کاملInnominate artery angioplasty.
Several recent reports [1-7] have discussed the potential use of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for treatment of stenotic lesions of the brachiocephalic vessels. We report a case of successful angioplasty in a patient with innominate artery stenosis associated with reversal of blood flow in the right vertebral artery (right subclavian steal). The risk of cerebral embolization was r...
متن کاملCardiac shunt in COPD as a cause of severe hypoxaemia: probably not so uncommon after all.
Hypoxaemia is a common finding in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and may be aggravated during exercise. The main mechanism is perfusion through areas that are not well ventilated: a ventilation–perfusion mismatch. True shunting, defined as venous blood mixing directly with end-capillary blood at the arterial side of the circulation, is not a usual cause of hypoxaemia in COPD [1, 2...
